FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON
Monday, November 28.
Mr. Nelson offered a resolution, appointing a committee to enquire what provision ought to be made for infirm and superannuated officers and soldiers, which was adopted.
Mr. G. W. Campbell asked for the order of the day on the report of the committee of foreign relations, and the report is now reading. 12 o'clock.
I have known a child who had carelessly stumped his own toe against a stone, turn about with the utmost resentment and fury and abuse and beat his companions, as tho responsible for the injury he had received. Just such is now the situation of our embargo men here. They have fairly broken their own shins against this strong measure, and now, instead of applying a plaister to the sore, they fall into a most furious passion and revile and abuse those who cautioned them to beware.

Mr. Nelson offered a resolution appointing a committee to inquire into provisions for infirm and superannuated officers and soldiers, which was adopted. Mr. G. W. Campbell requested the order of the day on the foreign relations committee report, which was being read at 12 o'clock. Commentary likens 'embargo men' to a child blaming others for self-inflicted injury from the embargo measure.
